Shia LaBeouf has admitted his time in jail was "scary" after he was forced to wear a led jacket and 'Hannibal' mask.
The actor was arrested in June for disorderly conduct and spent 24 hours behind bars, but says the stint felt like "forever" after a restraint mask was put on him.
Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an interview to be aired today, he explained: "Jail was quite scary... I was there for, it felt like forever, I think 24 hours 25 hours... I really went all the way with it they put a Hannibal mask on me and a led jacket. It was very scary."
Following the arrest he spat on an officer, and has since issued an apology for his mistake.
"I [did] spit on a cop. That's a no, no. I'm sorry if you're watching dude I'm sorry. That was crazy, man."
Shia also credited his mother Shayna with helping him get over the problems he was facing at the time.
"That's my girl. She called me. It's been a process. I'm quite stubborn and an only child, it's just been me and her.
"She was mom and dad. We've had it all. Now I'm on the right path. Thank you, mom."
When pushed for what his mother said on the phone, he replied: "Stop f***ing around."
Since the arrest Shia has sought treatment for a problem with alcohol but feels he's now back on track.
"I went through like an existential crisis, which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgement errors."
